I wanted to, but I couldn't bring myself to care anymore about that series after the Carnival/Circus arc.

Yeah, that carnival Arc came out of no where, and was aggressively bad. Which is unfortunate because the rest of the run is really good. I believe even the phoenix 5 event gave us crab whales!

There's a weird thing with X-men and circuses, but then half of Marvel's silver age characters were all carnies, so who knows?

That's sort of funny, because I've never really thought too much about it, but now that you mention it I did find an issue of X-Men featuring Obnoxio the clown at a Half Price Books, and picked it up out of sheer curiosity.

Edit: This one

I think like Blob's first appearance was as part of a carnival of crime right?

And then after the new team gets introduced, Mesmero mind controls them all into circus freaks before they're kidnapped by Magneto for some ageplay.



I would love to have those posters in the background as actual posters.

I happened to prefer the whiskey drinking cantankerous bastard Lockheed from the S.W.O.R.D. series. Although I may be a bit biased...
